Chapter 138: They Soared
The settlement of the inner city is coming to an end, and Qingjingzi is obviously a little impatient.
A honeycomb-shaped arm artifact was suspended in the air of the inner city, and the surface was covered with dense holes, releasing a thick cloud of smoke and dust.
For ordinary monks, the smoke and dust are metal toxins that can corrode the body, burrowing into the flesh and bones with the breath of the mouth and nose, but in just half a day, the foundation of the path will be destroyed.
This is not the case with instrument cultivators, who are unable to recover their injuries on their own, and the metal toxin can stimulate the healing of injuries and bless spells at the same time.
Li Mo immediately noticed Qingjingzi's actions.
He was in the refining ground where the inner disciples of the Heart Beast Sect were fighting, and he did not hesitate to stop the Zhou Tian cycle and wait for the destruction of the inner city.
Li Mo observed the repair of the instrument absorbing metal dust.
In a sense, the cultivation of instruments has been detached from the essence of flesh and blood.
Li Mo was sure that after being eroded by death and disease, the instrument cultivator should not turn into a strange beast, but another indescribable monster.
The research of the Death Disease Sect of the Sub-Weapon Sect is far more in-depth than that of the Heart Beast Sect.
Li Mo remembered the Tieding Secret Realm, which was filled with the corpses of giant monsters.
I'm afraid that a long time ago, the Sub-Weapon Sect had been paying attention to the Heart Beast Sect, but they only valued the value of the Beast.
Li Mo put away the animal skin magic weapon and concealed himself through the leakless body.
The number of Inner Gate Beasts has been reduced to about ten, and the disciples of the Ziqi Sect occupy an absolute advantage and can crush them unilaterally.
Once there are fewer and more monks in the inner gate, Li Mo's behavior of fishing in troubled waters, there will be no disciples of the Ziqi Sect who care.
It is equivalent to saving their lives in disguise.
Li Mo traveled all over the inner city, looking for clues to the drastic changes in the world, and found that the details revealed in the illusion were terrifying.
Exposed bones, strange and inexplicable pictures of birds and beasts, decorations about the sacrifice of the dead, and distorted words of ascension.
It seems that after the monks of the Heart Beast Sect have all been reduced to beast skin people, the sect is still maintaining order.
It was none other than the inner door beasts that the spirit beasts had turned into, and they should have been mentally intelligent at that time.
They fell into the madness of sacrificing the dead and fasting, and welcomed the arrival of the ascending ancestor Tianchenzi.
The last sacrifice was the main reason for the complete fall of the inner city, and it was the straw that cut off the inheritance of the Heart Beast Sect.
After Li Mo came into contact with the corpses of all kinds of inner gate beasts, more and more memories of ancient exercises poured out of the Creation Book.
The "Danding Qi Magic Method" of the Inner Danfang, the "Xuanlian Three Cleans and One Qi" of the Inner Instrument Workshop, and the Law Enforcement Hall "Four Refining Dapeng Wings Sutra......
Although the ancient exercises are not suitable for the system of the current immortal cultivation world, the Dao Seed does not dislike it at all, and still accepts it in full.
It should be the relationship between Taoism and Dharma, and ancient exercises also have merits.
However, what puzzled Li Mo was that some of the inner beasts from ancient times to the present, and the cultivators of the Heart Beast Sect involved, were not in high positions.
Although Wu Chenzhi is the chief Dan master, he can only cultivate in the middle stage of foundation building.
Li Mo remembered that in the outer gate of the Heart Beast Sect alone, there were seven stewards and elders.
Not to mention, the peak master of the inner gate who is in charge of the lineage inheritance, as well as his descendants, as well as the elders of the inner gate, the head of the sect, and so on.
After their spirit beasts turned into strange beasts, they all seemed to have disappeared after the drastic changes in heaven and earth, and none of them had survived in the inner city to this day.
Bang bang bang......
Li Mo's thoughts were interrupted, and the molten town shook the mountains.
Kiyoko no longer cares about the risk of worsening death, and takes action against the remaining inner door monsters herself, her mouth full of unknown mutters.
The disciples of the Ziqi Sect were inevitably jealous, but with the cultivation of the Pure Zijie Dan, it was impossible for them to escape from the confines of the inner city.
Within a few days, when the last of the inner door beasts of the dining hall died, the thick fog that had shrouded the molten town for thousands of years began to slowly dissipate.
The inner city was revealed to the monks.
The buildings retain the style of ancient Taoism, with blue tiles and white walls, ponds with traces of cranes, yin and yang double fish can also be seen everywhere, and there is a dead bamboo forest in the corner.
However, leaning into the inner building, you can see the weathered dry bones of the Hidemen.
It can be seen that the sacrifice of the dead is by no means a gratuitous conjecture of the inner beast, but a real disaster that happened thousands of years ago.
Li Mo inadvertently glanced at Qingjingzi, and his mood fluctuated.
Qingjingzi stood in the air, and his state became more unstable, especially the bare back, which was overgrown with dense fine worms.
There are also two people connected to the end of the worm, Han Cai and Shi Ji.
They were tortured in an inhuman form, and the fine worms seemed to be able to transfer the alienation of Qingjingzi's body to Han Cai and the others.
Han Cai's deformed arms were all over the place, and his cultivation had also regressed to the level of the late stage of the weak crown, and there was occasionally blood gushing out of his mouth and nose mixed with fragments of internal organs.
Comparatively speaking, Shi Ji was slightly better, and the number of arms was twice as many as Han Cai's, but there seemed to be a living creature in his swollen head.
"Han Shi ?!!"
Li Mo's face was gloomy, what was the situation, it was clear that the two sides of the beast puppet had already shed their shells, and most of the monks had been saved.
"No...... right"
He suddenly realized that Qingjingzi was probably the inner city attracted by Tian Changwen, making the latter mistakenly think that the best spirit stone was among them.
Since he took such a risk, he must have been bloodied for the sake of a hundred beasts.
But Han Cai and the others have already fallen into the hands of Qingjingzi, indicating that there is a high probability that the plan will fail, and the entire melting town will be destroyed as a result.
Li Mo kept thinking in his heart whether there was a way to save Han Cai's life.
Fortunately, there is not much danger for the time being, and the value of the two of them, as puppet cultivators of the False Dan Period, is obviously far more valuable than the corpse.
The area shrouded in dense fog narrowed to about 100 meters, and the inner city was about to be seen in full view, and the atmosphere suddenly became scorching.
Li Mo's pupils dilated, and the speed of his heart couldn't help but increase.
The tattooed beasts gave birth to warnings, as if they had an instinctive fear of what was about to appear, and they wanted to stay away from the molten town.
While Li Mo calmed the tattooed beast, his eyes locked on the center of the inner city.
At the moment when the dense fog dissipated, a puff of colorful smoke and dust erupted from Qingjingzi's mouth, intending to cover the inner city and prevent the outer disciples from seeing it.
Knock knock knock......
The spell was interrupted, and all the monks covered their chests.
The sound of birds and beasts mingling sounded, as if in the depths of the jungle, and the first sunset on the horizon immediately opened a curtain.
Li Mo narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "What is the situation with Tianchenzi, and what is the matter with the sacrifice of the dead?" ”
The smile on the corner of Qingjingzi's mouth retracted, and her expression was full of deep doubt.
Obviously, he had realized that the center of the inner city had nothing to do with the best spirit stones at all, and the spiritual power that leaked out of him suddenly rioted.
The sound of birds and beasts stopped abruptly.
As the sun set, the monks could not help but show indescribable astonishment, unable to comprehend what was revealed in the mist.
The stone platform of the sacrifice of the dead and fasting comes into view, with an area of nearly a kilometer.
In the center of the stone platform, there is a statue of Tianchenzi five or six hundred meters high, with a lifelike appearance, and the right hand points to the top of the head.
Outside the stone platform are a large number of futons, and there are hundreds of statues of disciples of the Heart Beast Sect.
The statues were motionless, they were all core cultivators of the Heart Beast Sect, and thousands of years seemed to have passed without leaving a trace of time.
Compared with the statues of Tianchenzi, their appearance has the characteristics of beasts, and their posture of meditation is also very nondescript.
Li Mo recalled the sacrifice of the dead in Heifengling, and the stone platform furnishings were no different.
"Wow Wow Wow ......"
The baby's cry came from inside the statue of Tenchenko.
Qingjingzi swooped towards the platform without hesitation, and the rest of the disciples of the Ziqi Sect couldn't help but look at each other, and chose to follow behind him.
Li Mo mingled in the crowd and realized that the drastic changes in the world at the beginning should be more than just a beast cultivator turning into a beast skin man.
"Sacrifice to the dead, fast, ascend to the ......"
Qingjingzi went straight to the statue of Tianchenzi, and Li Mo stayed at the edge of the altar.
Li Mo looked at the statues, and the books of creation poured out memories one after another, indicating that the identity of the statues was at least a disciple.
"Huh?"
He noticed an unbelievable place, the statues were not carved after the future, but were all hollow corpses.
The corpse was only thin human skin, and there was an inconspicuous tear in the back of the head.
Li Mo couldn't help but gesture, the crack was just enough for a child about five years old to drill out, and there were traces of the crack on the surface.
In the body of the corpse, he also found the remains of animal feathers and bird feathers.
The baby's crying intensified.
Li Mo quietly turned around and walked towards the statue of Tianchenzi, which was in a similar situation, a human skin shell of a giant corpse.
There was also a crack in the back of the head, and the space inside was enough to accommodate two or three hundred meters of living beings.
Qingjingzi had already calmed down, and looked at Tianchenzi's corpse thoughtfully, and the rest of the cultivators didn't dare to speak at all.
Li Mo's mind was in turmoil.
No matter how strong or weak the monks of the Heart Beast Sect are, they have all turned into beast skin people under the effect of the drastic changes in heaven and earth, and those who participate in the sacrifice are all treacherous beasts.
But at that time, Tianchenzi was probably dead for hundreds of years, right?
It wasn't until Li Mo saw the paw prints on the back of the statue's head that he suddenly reacted.
The memory of the Book of Creation will never be wrong, Tianchenzi has died of exhaustion, but its spirit beast Golden Silk Phoenix-tailed Sparrow is still alive.
And after the drastic changes in heaven and earth, the golden phoenix-tailed finch transformed into a humanoid beast, and its appearance was exactly the same as that of the dead Tianchenzi.
In the absurd and grotesque sacrifice of the dead, they "feather and soar" from their old shells.
The answer to Li Mo's guess is very close to the real situation.
The initiator of the chaos in the inner city is the remnant of the ascension of the golden phoenix-tailed finch, which can also be said to be the remnant of Tianchenzi.
From the details everywhere, it can be seen that the golden phoenix-tailed finch really regards himself as the ancestor who created the foundation of the Heart Beast Sect.
When the disciples of the Ziqi Sect paid attention to the remains of Tianchenzi.
Han Cai opened his cloudy eyes.
He glanced at Tianchenzi's relics, and nodded slightly at Shi Ji, including Qingjingzi, no instrument cultivator would pay attention to the strangeness of the puppet cultivator.
Li Mo found the awakened Han Cai, and immediately understood that everything was Tian Changwen's plan.
Who would have thought that the two beast puppets in the eyes of the Ziqi Sect would choose to bet on the Dao system and do their best to enter the game.
"I seem like I can help them."
Li Mo originally asked Han Cai for a spell, and learned from him that the details of the Spider Heart Human Face Magic Technique were a very hidden teleportation spell.
It's just that the distance of transmission can't be too far, and it requires a bit of flesh and blood, and the monks who contact it can't resist it.
The medium is not difficult, Han Cai was so badly injured, and his flesh and blood were everywhere he passed.
